Who runs your business -- you or your inner brat? Everyone has an inner brat. It's the part of us that's still a 2-year-old. It gets furious at the slightest inconvenience. It feels entitled to get what it wants when it wants, and it whines and complains when things don't go its way.Chances are this describes at least one of your clients or employees. It's always easier to spot someone else's inner brat than your own. But take a moment now to reflect on yourself and answer the following questions:* Do you frequently complain that something isn't fair?* Do you get angry at least once a day?* Do you hate at least one client or employee?* Are you convinced that the government, the economy or the competition is responsible for the lack of growth in your business?* Have you ma
Now if you look at the college student’s $68,000 to $140,250 debt compared to the drivers balance of $130,000 plus home equity, we have as much as a $300,000 difference at about 5 years. The student has the power of interest working against him, while the driver has the power of compounding interest working in his favor!
Being happy or successful in life is not about a title or a piece of paper. It’s about making wise decisions that can make your life smooth and stress free. Regardless of the reasoning, taking on debt is not a good plan if you want to achieve financial independence or experience true freedom in a timely fashion. It’s a person’s debt-to-income ratio, and what they do with their money that counts. In this and most scenarios, the college student will not ever catch up to the truck driver financially.
If a person can go to college for free, great! I have yet to see anything that is 100% free. Even if the college student did go to school for free, he graduat
Deciding to hold a corporate event is just the beginning and to most companies a very time consuming and daunting task. The three most important questions faced by any company are Where, When and How your event will happen. Firstly you need to define your objectives and requirements. All too often we find that these two aspects get overlooked. As with most things in life, if you know what you want and what you need to achieve, you stand a much better chance of success.Where to Stage Your Event – The VenueOne of the most important factors in determining the success of your event is the venue – this factor alone can literally make or break the whole event.Conference venues get the major part of their business from total event management companies, rather than directly from clients - t
To be fair, we will base the cost of the college student’s tuition on an average of $16,000 at an in-state public university, and about $33,000 for a private school each year for 4 years. These costs include tuition, fees, books, room and board and other expenses.
The cost of the truck driver’s training school is $1,500 to $3,500. Most schools pay for room and board and some company schools pay the student wages while they are training. Company schools will pay for training if the student agrees to work for them for one year.
Now let’s fast forward to the 3 month level from our starting point:
The college student is learning and acquiring debt. The truck driver has completed his schooling and has been making money driving for a break-in company at the rate of $35,000 a year. The driver has just got enough experience to get hired with a career company and he does.
One year and 3 months from the starting point:
The college student is still learning and acquiring debt, somewhere between $20,000 and $41,250. The truck driver has had several pay raises, and grossed over $65,000 his first year with his new company. He put $15,500 in his 401k with a handsome company match. He also put money in an IRA of $4,000 and is buying stocks. He goes home every day to the brand new house he just purchased, and is enjoying all the freedom that driving has to offer.
Two years and 3 months in:
The total debt of the college student is around $36,000 to $74,250 dollars, but he is learning. The truck driver’s gross earnings were $70,000 dollars, again topping out his 401k and an IRA for a new balance of $43,000 dollars with interest. He is making extra payments on his home and it has been appraised at a value $4,000 above original purchase price.
Three years and 3 months from the starting gate:
Our college student is beginning to realize how long it is going to take to pay back those student loans. It’s a good thing he chose one of the top starting salary majors or he might be in trouble. His total debt acquired so far: $52,000 to $107,250 dollars. And our truck driver’s house value has gone up to a total of $8,000 dollars above purchase price. His investment account’s total balance is $66,250.
4years and 3months later:
Congratulations to our college student! Happy graduation! Your debt is $68,000 to $140,250, plus interest. Your starting salary as an Electrical Engineer is $54,599. Our truck driver has earned $78,000 dollars this year and his home value is up $12,500 above the purchase price. His investment portfolio balance is around $91,000 dollars.
A year later:
In the following year our college student is working and likes his new job. He is in the market for a new home, but is very limited due to the debt he has acquired. A job starting at $55,000 seemed like a lot of money when he first started school, but with the student loans to pay back it has limited him to a home below previous expectations. As much as the student would like to save for retirement, he just can’t seem to find the extra money to invest. To furnish his new home he does what most Americans do, he runs up those credit cards. Sound familiar?
Our truck driver could not be happier. He has plenty of time at work to study and learn all of the things he finds interesting. His home keeps appreciating and stocks are doing well. He has close to a $130,000 balance in his portfolio and is enjoying all his free time driving down the road listening to audio books on investing. He is getting ready to build a new custom home, and with only about five years in this industry, he can see an early retirement on the horizon.
Now if you look at the college student’s $68,000 to $140,250 debt compared to the drivers balance of $130,000 plus home equity, we have as much as a $300,000 difference at about 5 years.

First I would like to say that I am pro-Federal Reserve, yet I also study a lot and follow many industries and have found fault with some of their beige book reports from what I have observed in the market place. Here is a 2003 observation on the discrepancies I noticed. I wish to comment on some of the data collection, which went into the South East Fed Beige book;http://www.bizjournals.com/nashville/stories/2003/09/01/daily16.html?f=et69I do not feel that the data collected is absolute or correct and it does not paint a total picture of rural areas in AL, GA, SC and labor issues in FL. I think that perhaps the FED, could do well by having a Mini-FED system for non-DMA. MSA areas run semi-independently and reporting to a division underneath the nearest Fed Bank. Otherwise you end up with cities, wh

Used primarily in the beginning as a traffic-monitoring device, remote security cameras are becoming the weapon of choice in the war against terrorism and crime around the world. A trained technician can sit in a control booth and monitor cameras placed in many locations around the city and using his remote equipment, he can pan and tilt, turning the cameras at will to view an even larger area than would be possible with stationary security cameras.The latest spy programs on TV use these cameras to monitor good guys and bad guys having clandestine meetings in downtown areas. They can pan and follow two people who are walking and talking and when they’ve reached the outermost edges of the camera’s field of vision, they merely switch to the next camera and pan and tilt all over again.While it seems fa

The truck driver has a handsome home and investment portfolio, with the ability to work and live anywhere in the country enjoying all the freedoms that trucking has to offer.
There is a truck driving shortage in this country that is growing larger each year. There is no shortage of people taking on and acquiring debt by going to college. Too many people just go to college, no matter the cost, because they were brought up believing it is the thing to do. The percentage of students that actually graduate and get a degree that would enable them a have starting wage of $55,000 is extremely small. Many students don’t graduate, but have the student loans to pay back anyway. Over 30% of college students leave after the first year and almost 50% never graduate, according to the Department of Education 2006.
